PROF 7883 - Adelaide Advantage: Post Graduate Career Readiness

North Terrace Campus - Winter - 2014

Employers expect graduates to be knowledgeable in their field, ready to solve problems, possess a strong sense of self-awareness and a high degree of emotional intelligence. This course is designed to assist students to develop these skills, make the most of the co-curricular opportunities that the University offers and advance their personal development and employment potential. This course will provide students with a professional assessment of their personal profile and career competencies from which a personal development plan will be created and supported by customised workshops designed to help students explore their leadership potential and achieve their career goals. Prior participation in Adelaide Advantage activities will provide a backdrop for the final project, in which students will be required to reflect on their personal development, develop an understanding of self-awareness and integrate and consolidate the knowledge, skills and experience by presenting to an industry panel. Through workshops and Adelaide Advantage activities students will advance their leadership, professional and global citizenship skills to increase their competitive employment advantage. Participation in Adelaide Advantage activities will provide students with the opportunity to: 1. Reflect from the very beginning of their study program, on what they are at university to achieve and what they will do on completion. 2. Develop their understanding of the practices for effective participation in the workplace 3. Clarify their career goals and identify pathways to achieve them 4. Integrate and consolidate the knowledge, skills and experience they have gained in their degree program(s) and how these can be transferred to the workplace 5. Increase their confidence to participate effectively and contribute meaningfully in the workplace 6. Mature their self-awareness, strengths and aspects that can be improved in their learning by reflecting on their readiness for the workplace.

Student Feedback

The University places a high priority on approaches to learning and teaching that enhance the student experience. Feedback is sought from students in a variety of ways including on-going engagement with staff, the use of online discussion boards and the use of Student Experience of Learning and Teaching (SELT) surveys as well as GOS surveys and Program reviews.

SELTs are an important source of information to inform individual teaching practice, decisions about teaching duties, and course and program curriculum design. They enable the University to assess how effectively its learning environments and teaching practices facilitate student engagement and learning outcomes. Under the current SELT Policy (http://www.adelaide.edu.au/policies/101/) course SELTs are mandated and must be conducted at the conclusion of each term/semester/trimester for every course offering. Feedback on issues raised through course SELT surveys is made available to enrolled students through various resources (e.g. MyUni). In addition aggregated course SELT data is available.

Fraud Awareness

Students are reminded that in order to maintain the academic integrity of all programs and courses, the university has a zero-tolerance approach to students offering money or significant value goods or services to any staff member who is involved in their teaching or assessment. Students offering lecturers or tutors or professional staff anything more than a small token of appreciation is totally unacceptable, in any circumstances. Staff members are obliged to report all such incidents to their supervisor/manager, who will refer them for action under the university's student’s disciplinary procedures.

The University of Adelaide is committed to regular reviews of the courses and programs it offers to students. The University of Adelaide therefore reserves the right to discontinue or vary programs and courses without notice. Please read the important information contained in the disclaimer.
